Adson Periosteal Elevator 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled subperiosteal dissection, this Adson-pattern periosteal elevator is used to detach and reflect periosteum and soft-tissue flaps from bony surfaces. Its narrow working end provides focused contact with bone and is suited for intraoral, maxillofacial, ENT, plastic reconstruction, hand surgery and other procedures requiring precise soft-tissue elevation or undermining. The 17 cm length gives additional reach for deeper exposures while maintaining tactile control for delicate dissections.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's slim shaft and narrow periosteal tip concentrate force to the working edge, allowing efficient subperiosteal elevation without excessive traction on surrounding tissue. The Adson-style geometry favors precise, small-area separation of periosteum from bone and facilitates controlled undermining when creating flaps. Length and slim profile make it practical for confined fields where reach and accuracy are both required.
